The Art History Visual Resources Center's collections include historical materials that may at times reflect ableist, ageist, classist,听homophobic, misogynist,听or racist听attitudes which do not align with the values of the Department of Art and Art History. These听may be used in our curriculum to critique various systems of discrimination and oppression. However, this may not be self-evident in the works or their accompanying descriptions. The VRC aims to balance academic freedom and historical records with sensitivity about the presentation and description of such materials.
We are committed to culturally sensitive cataloging practices.听We endeavor to use accurate, respectful, and inclusive language. To ensure optimal access to our collections, especially when they appear within larger, aggregated collections, we follow data standards for听broad discoverability. This includes using terms from published authorities, such as the and . While these authorities are constantly evolving, some outdated and even harmful terms persist. We actively support the many efforts occurring within the library and archives profession to update such terms, and carefully consider which terms to听include as searchable variants to facilitate discovery.
We acknowledge the critical cataloging work to be done within our collections. When possible we will consult creators directly for their gender and cultural identities. Our collections contain materials that represent and/or are created by marginalized groups of people. We strive to use the current language of artists, historians, and others who belong to, are descended from, specialize in, and/or work closely with the communities we are describing. We aspire to moving our descriptive practices away from the听default presumption of whiteness.
With terminology that changes over time, the process of description is iterative. We commit to this longterm process, and to making the practice of culturally sensitive description a significant element of the training and professional development we provide to student catalogers. We recognize that we will make mistakes. We welcome suggestions for corrections, annotations, or other opportunities to听review听our practices. Please email us.

罢丑别听听houses documentation of MFA and BFA work from the Department of Art and Art History, with the most recent work appearing first. Since the 1960s the Department has routinely archived MFA thesis exhibitions, initially as 35mm slides and VHS tapes and now as digital files. The Visual Resources Center is currently digitizing and cataloging the 35mm slides in reverse chronological order. Note that over time some students did not submit documentation of their work, so there are occasional gaps in representation. Documentation of BFA exhibitions has been collected in recent years, but submissions have been sporadic due to their voluntary nature.
The , which has been digitized and cataloged by the Art and Art History Visual Resources Center, consists of materials collected by the Chicano artist Emanuel Martinez during his expansive career. As a muralist, painter, and sculptor, Martinez has achieved international acclaim. His career exploded during the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, during which he worked with civil rights leaders Cesar Chavez, Rodolfo 鈥淐orky鈥 Gonzalez, and Reies L贸pez Tijerina and helped to popularize the Chicano mural movement. Martinez has received numerous public art commissions in Colorado, Arizona, Texas, and other parts of the United States. He has also participated in major museum exhibitions and his work is part of the collections of the Smithsonian鈥檚 National Museum of American Art. The materials of this collection speak to his successful and lengthy artistic career, as well as the broader Chicano Movement in the U.S. After Martinez approached the Latino History Project at the 精品SM在线影片 about the collection in 2019, he agreed to loan the materials to the University. They are reproduced here with his permission.
The collection is an outgrowth of a program generously funded by a Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Cultures grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant funded a seminar, Deep Horizons: Making Visible an Unseen Spectrum of Ecological Casualties & Prospects, which was offered during the 2020-2021 academic year at the 精品SM在线影片. Numerous public events, including panels, lectures, and art exhibitions, were held, with participation from preeminent scholars and practitioners. The program aimed to traverse multiple disciplines and perspectives to investigate intersectional questions concerning the changing planet as it affects specific peoples, communities, wildlife species, and ecosystems in varying and inequitable ways. In the coming years this collection will expand upon these initial activities to become a broader teaching and research resource at 精品SM在线影片 and beyond.
